The YMCA Diet Plan Review

The YMCA is an acronym for Young Men’s Christian Association, but since its inception in has moved forward and has accepted individuals of differing denominations and creeds. The differing YMCA chapters have differing programs from location to location. As of the latest count, 370 of the 967 YMCA’s across the nation have joined Activate America. Activate America is a school program designed to help individuals have better habits and an after school program for wellness was also established. 

The program is designed for a three-day week, with each participant having a structured exercise program with lots of guidance on healthy eating and snacking. All across the YMCA chapters, nutritional counselling is free with an option to have your nutritional program designed suited to your lifestyle.  The problem though is the lack of professional expertise regarding these weight loss counselling and guidance, making the programs more piecemeal than effective. Also, there is not much follow through as people come and go at the YMCA thus the placement on the more emphasis on the program espoused by Activate America.
